I am well chuffed with the gusset since the designer had had some trouble getting it to do what she wanted and I was able to fix that. Now I'm having trouble at the top of the mitten though because it's not working for me as written. If I use a k2tog decrease as instructed I get a little line of dark yarn across the light but if I use k2togtbl my decrease points the wrong way. I'll have to tromp through my knitting books in search of a solution. (Suggestions are also very welcome!)
The test goes on

Glad you are knitting a bit again and hope you are not letting yourself knit for too long at a time. I don’t have a good suggestion for the decrease for you… not enough coffee yet.

Alas, I have no colorwork advice, but the mitten sure does look great so far! I’m sure you will come up with a good solution for that decrease
